stupid. Michigan would bitchslap ND. ND is not a good team- they've played absolutely no one outside of Wisconsin, Purdue, and Cincy- they got bitchslapped by Cincy, got some fortunate calls and bounces go their way vs Purdue, and really they were on the ropes vs Wisconsin and losing that game in the 4th QTR until Wisconsin fell apart in epic fashion. If Wisconsin played them today they would boat race ND, and not sure ND beats Purdue on a neutral field.

Florida State, Toledo, & Virginia Tech took them to the wire. Those are three truly awful teams. Not even awful good teams like Nebraska- just awful awful teams.

ND is very fortunate they've played a bunch of MAC, service academies, god awful ACC teams this year, and that their main rival USC is awful.

If that's how they're voting, they need their vote taken away.  

Maybe ND is ahead of UM because they have the better loss.

was it a better loss though? ND lost at home by double digits- to a Group 5 team. 

Michigan lost on the road to an in-conference rival by 4 pts- after they were up by 16 pts with 18 mins left in the game- and it should've been up 23 pts because the B1G officials have admitted Aidan Hutchinson's TD shouldn't have been over-turned. 

Yeah- I get it- Michigan choked- they deserve the LOLs- and Cincy is clearly a better team than MSU- but the situations are very different. And then when compare their rest of the schedules- ND's schedule is a joke. Which is why those clowns will never join a conference- because it will kill any chance they have of actually going to the playoff.
